WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A GYM?
Most churches that have gymnasiums don't know what to do with them. They thought they would be useful for ministry and reach the kids in their area. But, most have never actually used them for ministry. In fact, they don't know how to. Consequently, the gyms become an expensive and extravagant resouce. They are primarily used for receptions, dinners, and social events.
A few churches have attempted to do ministry by opening the doors to the gym and inviting people to play. The problem is that "open gyms" do not result in people making any type of spiritual decisions. No ministry occurs. Further, these churches have found that the people are never transitioned from playing in the gym to praying in the sanctuary. That is where KidzPlay comes in.
